In his announcement, the press office of PASOK He argues that the government, with the help of “willing” legal circles, is trying to conceal the responsibilities of Mr Karamanlis, but falling into rational inconsistencies.
Firstthe PASOK He wonders how it is possible for Mr Karamanlis to be presented by the Government as non -powers and at the same time to leak his intention of referring to breach of duty. “What task of breaking a ‘decorative’ minister?” The party wonders, leaving spikes to try to refer an “innocent” to the eyes of the world.
SecondHarilaou Trikoupi contradicts the government’s claim that ministry directors had not informed the political leadership of the dangers. The PASOK He recalls the apologies of the Directors to the Larissa investigator, where documents have been presented that proves timely informing the leadership of the rail network. He notes that precisely these evidence led the investigator Mr Bakaimi to forward the case file to Parliament.
Thirdlythe PASOK It degrades the responsibility for the safety of the railways exclusively by the Railway Regulatory Authority (RAS). The party stresses that Ras is supervised by the Minister of Transport and raises the question of whether the Authority’s warning letters were simply ignored by Mr Karamanlis, who was limited to ceremonial appearances. The PASOK It insists on the need to investigate all those involved, including politicians protected by the law on the responsibility of ministers, while Ras is already controlled by justice.
The announcement concludes by calling on the New Democracy to clarify its position: Either Mr Karamanlis had no responsibility, or, although he was informed of the dangers, he chose to ignore them. “Both can not apply,” he points out PASOKaccusing the government of “communication games” and “moral downhill” on the debris of a tragedy.
